52?! 😂 I’ve been telling y’all I’m 25 for YEARS, and finally the math is mathing! 52 backwards is 25, so technically I’ve been telling the truth this whole time. 😂🎂🥂

What a birthday weekend. ❤️

Friday started with dinner, wine, laughter and the sweetest plant gift something I can watch grow… provided I don’t kill it. 😂🪴 Saturday was a beautiful play, and today was brunch, music, laughter, good people, good energy, and coming home to flowers and a Nothing Bundt Cake waiting for me. ❤️

And yes, this morning started with a few tears. I missed my baby. I missed Nya jumping in my bed, calling me old 😂 and asking, “So what we doing today?” That will always be part of my birthdays now. I can miss her with everything in me and still allow myself to receive the love surrounding me.

And LOVE surrounded me this weekend. ❤️

The calls, texts, WhatsApps, posts, prayers, gifts, flowers, hugs, laughterand most importantly, the time, thought, effort and intention people gave me.

Everybody has a life and things going on, so when someone takes a piece of their time to celebrate you, check on you, travel, rearrange something, or simply say, “I’m thinking about you,” it means something.

I noticed it. I felt it. And I’m grateful. ❤️

Whether you were beside me or loving me from miles away, THANK YOU.

Most of all, thank You, God, for allowing me to see another year. 🙏🏾 Another year to learn, grow, love, create, laugh and LIVE.

I’m walking into this chapter grateful, loved, hopeful and ready for whatever God has in store.

Chapter 52 has officially begun. ❤️

Or according to my math… Chapter 25. 😂🥂
